Our story<\/p>\n

A workshop, not a factory<\/h1>\n

Rivus started with one watch Tom\u00e1\u0161 Poto\u010dek made for himself. Then a few for friends. Then came the idea of putting a real piece of space inside.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

The watchmaker<\/p>\n

Built one at a time<\/h2>\n

Tom\u00e1\u0161 got his first watch at seven and took it apart almost immediately. He has wanted to know what happens inside ever since. He spent his free time taking watches apart, learning how movements work and studying the great watch houses.<\/p>\n

For years he worked in a different field, but the hobby won. He first made a watch for himself, the one he thought most beautiful. Then a few for close friends. Then came the question: why stop there, when you can put a genuine piece of space around the movement? Today Tom\u00e1\u0161 assembles every Rivus watch himself and checks it before it leaves.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Made by people we know<\/h2>\n

We work with small Czech workshops whose people we know by name. A small engineering workshop makes the case to our own design. The meteorite dial is made in the Czech Republic, and a saddler in northern Moravia stitches the leather straps by hand.<\/p>\n

The movement is Swiss, a Sellita SW200, chosen because it is reliable and easy to service. The remaining parts we buy in.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
